California Gov. Gavin Newsom has denied parole to Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten. It’s the third time a California governor has overruled a parole board’s decision to release Van Houten.

Gavin Newsom overruled a parole board's decision to free Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten on Monday, June 3, 2019, marking the third time a governor has stopped the release of the youngest member of Manson's murderous cult.
Van Houten was 19 when she and other cult members stabbed to death wealthy Los Angeles grocer Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, in August 1969. She said they carved up Leno LaBianca’s body and smeared the couple’s blood on the walls. Newsom is “going to have more political aspirations that go well beyond the state of California, and he doesn’t want this tagging behind him,” he added. “Not a surprise. I would have been shocked if he would have said ‘Go home.’”
Van Houten is still minimizing her responsibility and Manson’s “violent and controlling actions,” he said, and she continues to lack insight into her reasons for participating.
